Washing Machine wont spin or agitate

I have a 7 year old Simpson (Esprit750) washing machine. For the past few months it wouldn't agitate. I could overcome the problem by turning the setting dial 360 degrees 1 or two or ten times and it would eventually continue with the cycle. Today it won't agitate or spin. Everything else seems to be in order (the pump is pumping and the machine sounds like it is trying to agitate and spin) spray rinse still works etc. I think I could fix this problem myself with the right parts and advice. Any suggestions?

Hi just read read your posting.Is your machine the Simpson Ezi set? If it is and the water keeps running does it at any stage while it is filling start to agitate? Or does the machine keep filling and does not start agitating?Please reply with additional information and I can help you rectify this fault. Looking forward to your reply.

Your agitator dogs must be replaced.
With a flat blade screwdriver pry off the top cover on the agitator.
Remove the 7/16 bolt inside.
Pull up on the agitator and remove it.
Purchase the agitator dog kit from the appliance parts store.About $10.00.

HI colleen. thanks for the question. i know that you have been doing laundry for 30 yrs. i have been repairing for 45 years. they did not have daugs then. so the problem was not there. yes overloading is the cause . but if it wont go into the spin cycle . that could be the lid switch.

Can you please identify the problem with my washing machine?It
appears all the functions of my simpson 175 washing machine work
normally except the agitator only moves briefly and harshly for between
1 and 2 seconds.
